deal with family stress??? I have not spoken to my sister in 3 months and when I went to talk to my mom today she defended my sister and pretty much told me she and my sister did not want to be part of my wedding. My heart is broken. I spent the entire day in bed crying. I almost called off the whole wedding.
I cried listening to relaxing music, lighting a candle, taking a bath but nothing has helped and I have this awful lump in my stomach.
So my question is what works for all of you to decompress and not end of taking a bath with a toaster?
TIA

Re: How do you...
I am so sorry to hear about your situation
I take a muscle relaxer and lay in bed by myself

Re: How do you...
I think about how lucky I am to have the love of FH and those who actually care about how I feel. Family drama is the hardest to deal with, put yourself first, this is your time to be happy and celebrate your new life with your fh.
Hope this helps!!

Re: How do you...
First, I am so sorry that you are going through such a tough time. When I'm stressed I find that I feel better when I talk about it. If that doesn't work, I usually try to lose myself in a movie and a pint of ice cream. Sorry its not the best advice. I hope things get better. Hang in there.

Sorry this is happening to you. I probably would have done the same thing you did. I have not spoken to mother in 10 years and I think we are now starting to reconnect. It's painful. I hope we patch things up in time for the wedding. I'm sure you're family will come around and in no time you will patch things up. I don't think they would want to miss your wedding over a dumb argument...

Re: How do you...
First Weddings tend to stress people out... You have to relax. Family drama is so rough.
I take a few days to decompress and let the other person take a step back. In that time I talk to FH about it, see if maybe there's a better way for me to approach the situation so that the other person can see where I'm coming from.
Second, I read a lot... watch a lot of movies do things where I don't have to think. I eat a lot of comfort foods just try to make myself feel good on the outside while I let the rest take care of itself.
